There was plenty of room inside and outside for our family of 12\. We enjoyed the pool and the outdoor lounging area as well as the grill. The kitchen was well put together and easy for more than 1 person to be cooking. All in all it was perfect for us! ##### Deborah J. Stayed 10 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Cathy K.

It was the perfect location for our family (6 adults- mom, dad & adult kids) on our first trip to Costa Rica. The house is beautiful and the beds are so comfortable. We loved hanging out by the pool, enjoyed an amazing dinner with a private chef and access to the Beach Club. Natalia and her staff were awesome with helping us book the chef and a couple of excellent excursions (Catamaran sunset sail and surfing) and were very prompt with communication when we had any questions about the house and surrounding area. Hacienda Pinilla is a beautiful and very safe area. The one downfall was we didn’t have enough time to explore all that there is to enjoy in the area! So we need to come back! ##### Cathy K.

We didnt get a car till mid week and transfers are expensive if you like to explore.. Place and community are great.. Make sure to walk down beach 1 mile to Lolas's a local joint instead of eating at Beach club every day.. Pura Vida ##### John M. Stayed 6 nights in Jan 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ken B.

Location is great and close to many activities. We went surfing and had several meals at Lola’s which was about a 10 minute drive. We visited Playa Conchal beach which was stunning and definitely worth it. We rented cars and had no issues navigating the area. The house is new and modern and a great layout for us the enjoy. We spent many nights at the outdoor dining area and the pool. Hope to visit again soon ##### Ken B. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Elizabeth W. Aug 8, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Fabulous getaway This is a beautiful property that was perfect for our two families vacationing together. We loved the location, close to Tamarindo but not in town. The beach club was fabulous and it was nice to have access to the Marriott restaurants. One day the kids swam at the Marriott while we ate and another day the hotel charged $75 per person to swim with $25 of that as a food and beverage credit. That was the only bummer. We did have trouble with the in unit washer, but the host and property manager quickly did a pivot to offer daily laundry service. ##### Elizabeth W.

Aug 4, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Gorgeous property with incredible amenities Our extended family of 12 stayed here to celebrate the 50th birthday of my twin sister and me. We brought our families (spouses and combined total of 6 children ages 11-17), and our elderly parents. The kitchen is well-appointed, there are plenty of dishes, glasses, etc. The pool was wonderful, there were floaties available for use. The outdoor shower was great to use to rinse off after the pool, or after coming back from the beach. The house comfortable accommodated all of us, and the beds and pillows were very comfortable. The outdoor shower/bathtubs felt luxurious and everyone had a chance to enjoy that. The common areas also worked for our large group for meals, playing games, and watching tv. The concierge, Nathalia, quickly responded with any questions or needs. She made recommendations for tours, swimming beaches, and restauarants, all of which were great suggestions. The owner checked in with us as well and made sure we knew he was available for any questions/needs, though Nathalia was able to help us with everything. We used the chef for 2 nights, and strongly recommend the typical Costa Rican dinner. His staff clean afterwards, so it's definitely a nice splurge. Lola's restaurant is a backroads drive, but worth it - it was our favorite restaurant! We recommend surfing lessons with Luca- fantastic! We rented cars, and also rented golf carts for the neighborhood (fun but not necessary if you have a car). This home/neighborhood is phenomenal - can't wait to return! ##### Beth G.

This is the second time staying here. The house is perfect for adults and children. The beach club is perfectly located within a minute drive with a private beach with great surfing. ##### allison d.

The layout accommodated two families of four and a set of grandparents very well. We all had our own space. House isn’t walkable to beach club or Marriott with young kiddos but the drive was very short. We had a blast and especially loved the chefs private dinner ##### Caitlin M.

The house was beautiful and had everything we needed. Blythe and George were so easy to work with, especially with traveling during Covid 19\. The house is within a beautiful gated community with access to the beach club and several restaurants. We rented a car so it was a short trip into Tamarindo for a night out. We can't wait to go back again! ##### Sarah H. Stayed 7 nights in Mar 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Bob O.

From our initial communication with George until we checked out, everything was first class! Beautiful home which easily accommodated our family of 10\. Hanging by the pool was a treat and we also used the beach club. We will definitely come back! ##### Bob O. Stayed 6 nights in Dec 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rachel F.

The house was spacious and beautiful in a gated community. We had access to an amazing beach club. The owners and concierge Natalia were kind and helpful. This was the best vacation of our lives! My family is already asking to go back. ##### Rachel F. Stayed 7 nights in Feb 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ana M.

The house was clean and well appointed, the grill was like new and the kitchen had everything we needed. The house was also spacious enough for three generations -- including two teenagers! ##### Ana M. Stayed 6 nights in Dec 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kimberly D.

The house and setting were so spacious, so peaceful and so lovely. Muy tranquilo. Natalia, the property manager, is honestly an Angel. We are so grateful to her for her warmth, hospitality, and compassion. Muchas gracias por todo! ##### Kimberly D. Stayed 7 nights in Apr 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Brian B. Feb 2, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication #### Beautiful home with all the amenities We had a GREAT family trip !!! A couple of notes… the area is quite isolated and it is very hot… you MUST have a car in my opinion… it is not a short walk anywhere … a golf cart is useful…. But to get groceries you need a car to go to town… we had a chef for a few nights which was excellent and arranged through the concierge service who were most helpful…. ##### Brian B.

The house sits within two gated areas of Hacienda Panilla, with access to the beach club, golf course, and other amenities. Everything is brand new. House is shaped like a "U" centered around the lap pool and outdoor cabana. Hosts were very easy to contact (via cell and email) - provided recommendations for places to eat and go, as well as even helped on short notice to get people access through the gates. Also comes with a local concierge who helped us plan all our activities and transport! Great stay! ##### Nicholas P. Stayed 5 nights in Mar 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Candice T.

The bedrooms open up to the stunning backyard and the outdoor kitchen/lounge was so wonderful for our evenings together! Access to the beach club was a wonderful addition to an already beautiful home. Natalia was so attentive and kind and made sure that we were taken care of at all times - she is the best! This home is in a very secluded community so it will be best to rent a car if possible, if you intend to spend time in Tamarindo or elsewhere. Beyond satisfied with our stay! ##### Candice T.
